A New Approximation Technique for Resource-Allocation Problems

A New Fairness Index and Novel Approach for QoS-Aware Resource Allocation in LTE Networks Based on Utility Functions

Resource allocation techniques have recently appeared as a widely recognized feature in LTE networks. Most of existing approaches in resource allocation focus on maximizing network’s utility functions. The great potential of utility function in improving resource allocation and enhancing fairness and mean opinion score (MOS) indexes has attracted large efforts over the last few years. In this p...

Allocating Fixed Costs: A Goal Programming Model Based on Data Envelopment Analysis

Today the most organizations (e.g. banks and insurance institutes) consist of the various units which under the control of the main organization (unified management) act independently. Sometimes the manager presents some services which incur costs such as advertisement and introducing a new technology. Most organizations consist of several individual units. Resource allocation issue appe...

A Uniied Approach to Approximating Resource Allocation and Scheduling

We present a general framework for solving resource allocation and scheduling problems. Given a resource of xed size, we present algorithms that approximate the maximum throughput or the minimum loss by a constant factor. Our approximation factors apply to many problems, among which are: (i) real-time scheduling of jobs on parallel machines; (ii) bandwidth allocation for sessions between two en...

A new approach for solving fuzzy multi-objective quadratic programming of water resource allocation problem

Asymptotic Close to Optimal Resource Allocation in Centralized Multi-band Wireless Networks

This paper concerns sub-channel allocation in multi-user wireless networks with a view to increasing the network throughput. It is assumed there are some sub-channels to be equally divided among active links, such that the total sum rate increases, where it is assumed each link is subject to a maximum transmit power constraint. This problem is found to be a non-convex optimization problem and i...
